Summary

Washtenaw International Middle Academy (WIMA) is a public middle school in Ypsilanti, MI, serving 249 students in grades 6-8 within the Ypsilanti Community Schools district, and it stands out as a high-achieving, diverse option in an area where many nearby schools struggle.

WIMA delivers results that are dramatically better than its home district and competitive with elite suburban schools, all while spending far less. For example, in 6th-grade ELA, WIMA students hit 51.9% proficiency versus just 20.9% district-wide. The contrast with Ypsilanti Community Middle School, located just 3.6 miles away, is stark: WIMA ranks in the 82nd percentile statewide, while YCMS sits in the 2nd percentile. WIMA also outperforms Scarlett Middle School in Ann Arbor—which serves a similar demographic—in nearly every subject, despite spending $11,705 less per student. Perhaps most impressive is the school’s turnaround in attendance: chronic absenteeism plummeted from 57.5% in 2022-2023 to just 7.6% in 2024-2025, far better than the state average of 27.9% and even better than Saline Middle School (12.4%).

WIMA’s main academic weakness is math, where proficiency hovers near state averages (31.6% in 6th grade) rather than reaching the heights of its ELA and social studies scores. However, the school excels at serving all students effectively, with strong statewide rankings across different student groups. It achieves these outcomes while spending just $9,413 per student—roughly one-third of what Forsythe Middle School or Clague Middle School in Ann Arbor spend. For families seeking a rigorous, diverse, and efficient public school in the Ypsilanti area, WIMA is an outstanding choice that punches far above its weight.
